| 5 | David allait et réussissait partout où l'envoyait Saül ; il fut mis par Saül à la tête des gens de guerre, et il plaisait à tout le peuple, même aux serviteurs de Saül. | And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants. | And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, [and] behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and it was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul`s servants. |
| 6 | Comme ils revenaient, lors du retour de David après qu'il eut tué le Philistin, les femmes sortirent de toutes les villes d'Israël au-devant du roi Saül, en chantant et en dansant, au son des tambourins et des triangles, et en poussant des cris de joie. | And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of musick. | And it came to pass as they came, when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with timbrels, with joy, and with instruments of music. |
| 7 | Les femmes qui chantaient se répondaient les unes aux autres, et disaient : Saül a frappé ses mille, -Et David ses dix mille. | And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands. | And the women sang one to another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands. |

| 10 | Le lendemain, le mauvais esprit de Dieu saisit Saül, qui eut des transports au milieu de la maison. David jouait, comme les autres jours, et Saül avait sa lance à la main. | And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul's hand. | And it came to pass on the morrow, that an evil spirit from God came mightily upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as he did day by day.

Mais David se détourna de lui deux fois. | And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall with it. And David avoided out of his presence twice. | and Saul cast the spear; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall. And David avoided out of his presence twice. |

| 17 | Saül dit à David : Voici, je te donnerai pour femme ma fille aînée Mérab ; sers-moi seulement avec vaillance, et soutiens les guerres de l'Éternel. Or Saül se disait : Je ne veux pas mettre la main sur lui, mais que la main des Philistins soit sur lui. | And Saul said to David, Behold my elder daughter Merab, her will I give thee to wife: only be thou valiant for me, and fight the LORD's battles.

| 21 | Il se disait : Je la lui donnerai, afin qu'elle soit un piège pour lui, et qu'il tombe sous la main des Philistins. Et Saül dit à David pour la seconde fois : Tu vas aujourd'hui devenir mon gendre. | And Saul said, I will give him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Wherefore Saul said to David, Thou shalt this day be my son in law in the one of the twain. | And Saul said, I will give him her, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him.

| 22 | Saül donna cet ordre à ses serviteurs : Parlez en confidence à David, et dites-lui : Voici, le roi est bien disposé pour toi, et tous ses serviteurs t'aiment ; sois maintenant le gendre du roi. | And Saul commanded his servants, saying, Commune with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee: now therefore be the king's son in law. | And Saul commanded his servants, [saying], Commune with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king hath delight in thee, and all his servants love thee: now therefore be the king`s son-in-law. |
| 23 | Les serviteurs de Saül répétèrent ces paroles aux oreilles de David. Et David répondit : Croyez-vous qu'il soit facile de devenir le gendre du roi ? Moi, je suis un homme pauvre et de peu d'importance. | And Saul's servants spake those words in the ears of David. And David said, Seemeth it to you a light thing to be a king's son in law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed? | And Saul`s servants spake those words in the ears of David. And David said, Seemeth it to you a light thing to be the king`s son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, and lightly esteemed? |
| 24 | Les serviteurs de Saül lui rapportèrent ce qu'avait répondu David. | And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spake David. | And the servants of Saul told him, saying, On this manner spake David. |
| 25 | Saül dit : Vous parlerez ainsi à David : Le roi ne demande point de dot ; mais il désire cent prépuces de Philistins, pour être vengé de ses ennemis. Saül avait le dessein de faire tomber David entre les mains des Philistins. | And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but an hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies. But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines. | And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king`s enemies.

| 26 | Les serviteurs de Saül rapportèrent ces paroles à David, et David agréa ce qui lui était demandé pour qu'il devînt gendre du roi. | And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son in law: and the days were not expired. | And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king`s son-in-law. And the days were not expired; |
| 27 | Avant le terme fixé, David se leva, partit avec ses gens, et tua deux cents hommes parmi les Philistins ; il apporta leurs prépuces, et en livra au roi le nombre complet, afin de devenir gendre du roi. Alors Saül lui donna pour femme Mical, sa fille. | Wherefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full tale to the king, that he might be the king's son in law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife. | and David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might be the king`s son-in-law.

| 30 | Les princes des Philistins faisaient des excursions ; et chaque fois qu'ils sortaient, David avait plus de succès que tous les serviteurs de Saül, et son nom devint très célèbre. | Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it came to pass, after they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much set by. | Then the princes of the Philistines went forth: and it came to pass, as often as they went forth, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul; so that his name was much set by. |
